M. S. Shinde

Madhav S Shinde ( 1929 – 28 September 2012), credited as M. S. Shinde, was a Bollywood film editor who edited over 100 films, notably the cult hit ''Sholay'' (1975). Other notables films he worked on include ''Seeta Aur Geeta'', '' Brahmachari'', '' Shaan'' and ''Chamatkar''. He received the Filmfare Best Editor award for ''Sholay'' in 1975.

Career

Shinde started his career as an editor for Bollywood films in 1960s. Even before editing the classic 1975 release film ''Sholay'', Shinde had worked with director Ramesh Sippy and producer G. P. Sippy on the 1972 film ''Seeta Aur Geeta'' starring Hema Malini. Shinde worked for a monthly salary of 2,000 for the Sippys' production house. His work on ''Sholay'' of editing 300,000 feet of reel into 18,000 feet is considered remarkable. The earlier submitted version of 21,000 feet long film was further edited after the censors mandated cuts. The film had been reduced to a running time of 3 hours and 20 minutes, and was now without many of its gory scenes, though violence remained both on- and off-screen. ''Sholay'' was nominated in nine categories at the 23rd Filmfare Awards but won only the Best Editing Award.

Shinde worked on over 100 Bollywood films. The list of his works includes some successful films like '' Raaz'' (1967), '' Brahmachari'' (1968), '' Shaan'' (1980), ''Shakti'' (1982), '' Razia Sultan'' (1983), ''Sohni Mahiwal'' (1984), '' Saagar'' (1985) and ''Chamatkar'' (1992). His last film was '' Zamaana Deewana'' (1995), starring Shahrukh Khan. Along with films, Shinde was also the editor of the Hindi television classic ''Buniyaad'' that aired on DD National in 1986.
